I was reading an article on the Time.com website that was reporting on the recent theory put forth by psychologists that mixed-race children are better adjusted than single-race children. I found that article to be very interesting. I’m not sure that I agree with it, but I did find it interesting. I have known several people in my life that have a mixed-race background and have not found them to be any better, or worse, adjusted than the single-raced people that I have known.
I do know from my own observations of family and friends that there still is a lot of bigotry going on. I’m not defending it; in fact I abhor it, but I have observed that there still is a lot of bigotry going on. The article in the Time.com website stated that we are approaching a time when we (the US) will all be celebrating our multi-racial pride. I don’t think that is going to happen in my lifetime! I’d like to see it, but I think that the bigotry is still too entrenched in too many families. And bigotry is something taught from parent to child, so it is very difficult to eradicate.
